Whole-Person & Integrative Care

My approach to medicine has always been genuinely integrative. I was raised by a physician—my father was an internist—and I grew up with an appreciation for conventional medicine and the important role it can play. My own training in naturopathic and homeopathic medicine expanded that perspective. I believe there is value in many forms of medicine, and that good care means understanding when and how to use the right approach for the person in front of you. My clinical toolkit includes homeopathy, botanical medicine, nutrition, and Chinese medicine techniques, while also incorporating conventional medical care when appropriate. As a licensed naturopathic doctor in New Mexico, I am able to prescribe conventional and compounded medications when clinically indicated. At other times, an over-the-counter medication may be all that is needed. In some cases, carefully reducing or deprescribing a pharmaceutical may be the most appropriate course as a patient’s health improves. Your care may also include individualized nutritional guidance, laboratory testing, evaluation for allergies or sensitivities, or targeted dietary changes. Sometimes a relatively simple adjustment can make a meaningful difference. Other situations require a more comprehensive approach. Together, we’ll consider the available options and develop an individualized strategy, with room to reassess and adjust as your needs and health change.
